DECLARED “BLACK”
HOTEL JOB IN WELLINGTON COMPLAINT BY PLASTERERS i United Press Association] WELLINGTON, This Day. The job of reconstructing the Albion Hotel in Courtenay Place damaged by fire some months ago has been declared “black” by members of the Plasterers’ Union because wire netting to hold the plaster was erected by members of the Carpenters’ Union. The plasterers claim that only members of their union are entitled to carry out this work. It appears that no plasterers have been engaged on this job and none are available. The sub-contractor states that a fort- j night before the job was started he applied for two plasterers, but there were none available. When he actually wanted men he did not make a fresh application because he knew the position was unchanged.
